Method of providing handwriting style correction function and electronic device adapted thereto

A method of providing a handwriting style correction function in an electronic device, comprising:

• displaying at least one reference character on a touch screen;
• receiving a touch gesture via the touch screen;
• displaying a track of the received touch gesture on the touch screen;
• recognizing the track of the touch gesture as at least one input character corresponding to at least one reference character;
• identifying at least one reference character and at least one input character, as at least one stroke, based on a preset standard;
• comparing corresponding strokes of at least one reference character with at least one input character, and determining errors by strokes;
• and
• correcting handwriting based on summing errors by strokes of each of at least one reference character, and determining errors by characters.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a software program including instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations of a method of providing a handwriting style correction function, the method comprising:

• displaying at least one reference character on a touch screen;
• receiving a touch gesture via the touch screen;
• displaying a track of the received touch gesture on the touch screen;
• recognizing the track of the touch gesture as at least one input character corresponding to at least one reference character;
• identifying at least one reference character and at least one input character, as at least one stroke, based on a preset standard;
• comparing corresponding strokes of at least one reference character with at least one input character, and determining errors by strokes;
• correcting handwriting based on summing errors by strokes of each of at least one reference character, and determining errors by characters;
• and
• displaying the errors by characters for each of at least one reference character on the touch screen.
